Swintt appoints Tanya Axisa as Head of Account Management
Software developers bring in former Quickspin and BetSoft employee to add significant industry experience to major role
Specialists in highly localised online slots and live dealer games, Swintt, announced this month that they will be further strengthening their ranks with the addition of another key industry figure as Tanya Axisa joins as Head of Account Management.
Having previously worked as both an Account Manager and Senior Account Manager at BetSoft Games and Quickspin respectively, Axisa arrives with over seven years’ experience for the role and around fifteen years in the gaming industry in general, making her the perfect fit for the position.
During her most recent stint with Swedish game studio Quickspin, Axisa was responsible for handling many tier 1 operators and was able to build up a strong network of industry connections, with both attributes certain to prove invaluable as she turns her attentions to driving Swintt to all-new heights.
In her role as Head of Account Management, Axisa will be responsible for providing both support and the strongest customer experience possible to Swintt’s partners – and given the way the developers have been expanding this year, she’ll have plenty of opportunities to showcase her skills.
Widely considered to be one of the rising stars of the online gaming industry, Swintt has quickly established a reputation for being leading provider of high-quality casino content. Their portfolio of services includes the development and supply of highly localised slots, immersive live dealer games and state-of-the-art engagement tools – all of which can be found across a wide range of platforms.
David Mann, Chief Commercial Officer at Swintt, said: “Tanya arrives at Swintt with a wealth of industry experience and I have no doubt she’ll prove to be an invaluable addition to our team.
“Having already managed and supported a number of big-name operators in her previous roles, Tanya has the perfect skill set to take our Account Management department to the next level. She understands not only the demands and responsibilities of the role, but also the wider culture and ambition here at Swintt, so I’m certain she’ll play a key role in helping us hit new heights in future.
“I’d like to officially welcome Tanya to the team and I look forward to working with her as we continue to establish ourselves as the go-to software provider for major operators across the globe.”
Tanya Axisa, Head of Account Management at Swintt said: “Swintt has already made its mark by becoming one of the most up-and-coming software suppliers in the industry and I’m thrilled to be given the opportunity to join such a talented and experienced team.
“I’m excited for the challenge ahead and believe that with the experience I’ve built up over the past seven years, I’ll really be able to contribute to driving the company forward as we look to achieve our goals of becoming a tier 1 game provider for casino platforms around the world.”

New focus for safer gambling as Clarion confirms launch of Sustainable Gambling Zone
The Consumer Protection Zone (CPZ), which since its launch at ICE 2018 has developed to become the highest profile feature on the ICE show floor has been re-branded to become the Sustainable Gambling Zone (SGZ).
The strategic decision has been taken following extensive stakeholder consultation and is set against the heightened importance placed on proactive customer interventions at earlier stages of the player journey.
The SGZ will be debuted at July’s iGB L!VE prior to its official launch at ICE 2025, the first edition of the industry’s most influential b2b gaming show to be held at its new home in Barcelona
Clarion Gaming’s Director of Industry Insight and Engagement, Ewa Bakun, who has seen the CPZ develop to become the key platform for the industry to advance its understanding and implementation of safer gambling measures and raise standards said: “I must stress that this is much more than just a cosmetic exercise. Instead, the Sustainable Gambling Zone, with its refreshed focus, will engage with the broader stakeholder group of operators who are focused on long-term sustainability, something which goes way beyond simply meeting the regulatory mandate.
“The overarching objective of the Sustainable Gambling Zone is to be at the vanguard of initiatives to help develop healthy play from the outset which includes the incorporation of safer gambling considerations from the very start rather than as a compliance requirement.
“While not yet standard across the whole of the industry, this more holistic approach underpins the safer gambling dynamic. Its goal is to create a more sustainable business in which players continue to enjoy their gambling entertainment experience with the small proportion who are at risk of developing problems pro-actively identified and assisted by operators.”
Clarion Gaming Managing Director, Stuart Hunter added: “The relocation to Barcelona will enable us to expand the ICE and iGB Affiliate offerings but also raise the bar in terms of what we already deliver on behalf of the international industry.
“The intended broader appeal of the Sustainable Gambling Zone dovetails with our relocation and will bring the SGZ closer geographically to continental Europe and closer culturally to the Latin American markets that we serve.
“Barcelona will open a new chapter for ICE/iGB Affiliate and their respective features, not least the Sustainable Gambling Zone.”

INSPIRED LAUNCHES SOLID GOLD™: THE LATEST GEM IN THE FORTUNE COMMUNITY™ LINEUP!
Inspired Entertainment, Inc., a leading B2B provider of gaming content, systems, and solutions, is delighted to launch Solid Gold™ to the Cat C market, the latest addition to our Fortune Community™ slot lineup. Fortune Community offers a multiplayer gaming experience tailored for the Category C and bingo markets. Fortune Community games can activate a community bonus during play, ensuring all eligible players can share in the rewards.
Prepare to embark on a nostalgic journey with Solid Gold™, a classic retro slot that seamlessly blends vintage charm with exhilarating thrills.
In Solid Gold, a Gold Bar character hovering above the reels brings players closer to victory. When these characters grace each of the three reels, they unlock one of three bonuses. During the Wild Pick bonus, players take charge and choose one of three reels to turn Wild – or two if they’re lucky. Once a reel is selected, a stack of Wilds fills the entire reel, whilst the Wild symbol substitutes for all other symbols to enhance or create wins.
Players fortunate enough to trigger the Wild Pick bonus will have the opportunity to win a bonus spin. During this feature, the Wild reels will lock in position while the remaining reels spin again, providing players with an additional opportunity to win.
The Solid Gold community bonus steals the spotlight, played on alternative reels and offering 6 enticing prizes up for grabs. The reels will continue to spin until either a £100 jackpot prize is awarded, or a losing combination appears. Solid Gold not only offers players the opportunity to relive the golden era of slots but also engages them in a community bonus.
Richard Terry, UK Market Product Director, said: ” Solid Gold is the latest in a series of fantastic Fortune Community Cat C titles from Inspired, and once again sees the return of a much-loved classic game brand from yesteryear, likely to engage both new players with its absorbing presentation and experienced players with fond memories of the original product”
